Batter rock-socketed piles (BRSP) foundation is one of common foundations, such as port engineering or cross-sea bridge, while there are few studies on negative skin friction for BRSP. A series of model tests are conducted to explore negative skin friction of BRSP which are embedded in thick soft clay. The effects of the inclined angle of piles and soil consolidation time to negative friction resistance and the bending moment of BRSP are analyzed. The test results show that: the development of negative friction and bending moment BRSP have pronounced time effect; the longer the consolidation time is, the slower the axial force and bending moment intensify. The ultimate pile shaft axial force and bending moment increases nonlinearly concerning the inclined angle of piles. And the “neutral point” position and peak point of bending moment is always located at 0.9~1.0 times soil depth.
